New submission from Alex <alexpreng...@gmail.com>:
I often use to the Python REPL to perform some simple calculations (typically
some combinatorial or probabilities computation).
I believe it would be a nice improvement if the number displayed in the REPL
would be formatted as if f"{result:_}" was given (with the underscore
separators). For example:
>>> 36 ** 7
78_364_164_096
As I understand things:
* the REPL always shows the __repr__
* updating the __repr__ for int/float is a no-no for backward compatibility
reasons
If these assumptions are correct (please correct me if this is wrong), then I
guess this cannot be implemented, unless I missed something?
